wow theres alot of stuff you picked up on Smokey that i missed. I do agree everything you said about the op's truck makes sense. Theres still a couple things we don't know,does he have the camper special suspension, if he doesn't he should load the camper even if everything else was ok. What configuration of truck is his i'm going to guess with the big rubber its 4x4 but reg cab super or crewcab, also boxlength. We assume he wouldn't put an eleven footer into a shortbox, but... we all have seen people haul some crazy stuff. I'll admit mine isn't as long as what he's looking at(8ft scamper) but my real point was that it isn't automatically neccessary to have a dualie to haul a slide in.yes i have weighed my truck loaded and empty, gov't self weigh station. I'm not sure how much payload he has to work with, but as a guess around 3k, so yes a 4k camper is a bit much especially with the tall tires. We don't know what his plans are for the camper, is he going to cross the country or just drive 40 miles out of town for weekends. If he isn't making long trips i'd be a little less worried about the overload but he is a min of 1000lb maybe more over weight.unlike most car people who just assume that if they can make it fit its ok to haul it, blackwel has shownat least he's thinking about it before he goes flying down the road. Perhaps he should let this camper go and look for something a little smaller like an 8 footer, it won't be as fancy but it likely leave him some payload if he did want to pull a small boat or something. Definately he has load D tires and if he loads any slide in they have to go its not an option
